Soooo after being fed up with my situation... I called Kenya Crooks...Let me start by saying that I had tried working out before with Kenya by using his video workouts and even Skype...that lasted every bit of a week---not because what he did wasn't working, because I had not hit rock bottom with being overweight and therefore my mind, body, and soul were not committed. Having said all that, when I made that call in May 2010, I was at rock bottom. Now I could in no way afford the one-on-one price that was on his website, what I did say to him was look " You are my last resort for LAP BAND SURGERY and this is what I can afford reasonably." He worked with me and he has been a God send. I know the first 3 months working out with Kenya one-one-one made the difference in my life. I was running distances I had not ran, doing 300 jump ropes, and any other crazy excercises he came up with. I lost 30 the first month without diet pills, starvation or any other fads.....just pure hard work and changing how I ate. My baby (Tyler) was even cheering me on when I would workout. He would run with me sometimes. Now he loves fruits, veggies, water. He rarely eats candy or junk. I said all that to say...we have to be examples for our children. They learn by example. Don''t make your bad habits become their bad habits.
Now how many of you know that anything you want, you have to work hard for and want it bad enough...I am so thankful for Kenya's committment to as he always says "curing obesity one booty at a time". He is a motivator, a spiritual leader, and truly committed to helping us be better for our children, families and ourselves. This is obviously dedicated to Mr. Crooks my intervener.
Question: Who or what will be your intervention and will you recognize them or it when God sends them?
Next: It ain't been an easy road
Hi Tabitha, I can relate to what you are feeling. I was once what they called morbidly obese at 278 pounds back in 2009. I had tried everything from weight watchers to the Alli diet. Nothing seemed to work so I opted out and got the LAP BAND surgery in August of 2009. With or without weight loss surgery, it is a challenge. I had to learn to eat all over again and that is not easy. I used to love to eat Whoppers from Burger King but now, I can only dream about eating one. Alot of the foods that I could eat before the surgery, I can't eat know because my stomach just won't allow me. Now what did I get out of having this surgery done? I got pregnant! (lol), I got off of high blood pressure meds, and I am back to my before-kids size, which is a 12. I am satisfied overall.
